It’s time for a Gender Balanced Commission

The Treaty of Lisbon has been ratified and Heads of State and Government are getting together on Thursday this week to try to hammer out a deal on the EU’s top positions – President of the European Council and High Representative for Foreign Policy. Once that’s in place the team of 27 members of the European Commission is going to be put together, with the same style of corridor diplomacy.

Our small website urges the European Parliament to not approve the Commission unless it contains at least 1/3 women, i.e. 9 of the 27 Commissioners. More than that the EP needs alternatives, and that’s what we’re providing – a list of 26 viable candidates (Barroso having already been selected). You can also follow us on Twitter, and become a fan on Facebook.

@jonworth Dominic Cummings refers to the "narcissistic-delusional subset of the ERG"- "You should be treated like a metastasising tumour and excised from the UK body politic".(March 2019). Those Brexiters who backed recent expulsions might be in for a shock soon.
